OMG - that is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Hopefully you told her your name was K9000 and you were from the planet Neblon 3!

 

I was coming out of CompUSA. An older couple was walking around my car admiring it. We got to talking about the crossfire. The guy wanted to know about it (i.e. type of engine, hp, tq, gas mileage, cabin/trunk size). He thought it was a really nice/sharp looking car and how they loved the styling (silver/aluminum accents, tires). He talked about how he hadn't seen too many on the road. He said it must be nice to have a "unique" car and how he had his own "unique" car. I asked him "Oh, what car do you drive?" He pointed to the car parked next to mine. I said "nice" It was a 2002 SLK320. I didn't have the heart to tell him we had basically the same car, but I probably paid at least 10K less than he did.

 

i was at a local mom and pop auto store today with my father, we pulled up and went inside and the guy said nice porsche. talking to my dad, and i said its mine, he said i must have been a good son for my dad to buy it, then i told him i bought it on my own. me and my dad also went to refinance today, and the ladies at the credit union loved it also, couldn't believe i was 19 with that car.

 

I had a real good one today:

My girlfriend and I were parked at Red Lobster, about to go inside...and wait longer...just as we were about to get out this big black Tahoe was pulling into the spot beside me (a spot big enough to land a jumbo jet), she pulled halfway in then backed out and kept going around the lot to another spot. I thought she just couldn't park and was making quite a bit of sport of her. By the time we got to the door she was walking up to the door where her party was waiting on her outside, the lady was laughing and said, "I was going to park over there but there was this little BMW that had to have cost $100,000 dollars and I just knew I'd open a door into it and chip the paint or something." Needless to say, my opinion of her got significantly better, even though she mistook it for a Big-Money-Waster, hahaha.

 

Today I got my first compliment since having the coupe 3 days. I was parking it and a guy drives by and say... damn man what kind of car is that? I yell out a crossfire as I walk into my place he says "Damnnn never seen anything like that!! Amazing!!"

 

Hmm... that did not happen to me yet.

Keep em coming fellas.

 

Just like everyone else, I get my share of compliments. But nothing to write home about.

 

yesterday when i got to my parking garage from work, i seen someone walking around my car looking at it. i pretended it wasn't mine. i said "Is this your car, i really like it, what is it?" he said "i wish it was mine, i have no clue what it is, but its nice, wish i could afford something this expensive". then i opened my door and got in.

 

priceless... i am going to start doing that from now on... haha.

 

One person ask if the car cost $100K...

Another said... I'll give you a hundred bucks to let me sit in it.

One guy walked around the car 3 times...then ask "what the hell is this thing". When I told him a Chrysler, all he said was "damn nice car".

 

That's just mean. Maybe even borderline cocky.
Love it.

 

Very simple. I often times get caught behind school busses and it never fails. The back 2 rows end up staring out the back with big smiles and I usually get the double thumbs up from all of them.

Then, of course, is my favorite. The car load of girls who roll down the windows and scream at me. If only I was 15 years younger... But then I wouldn't have my car.

 

 

My best compliment to date was last week. It came from a state police officer who had stopped me for doing 68 mph in a 45 zone. He said "i'm only giving you a warning ticket because I love your car, now slow down!"

 

Hahaha, now I've had cops stop me to talk about it twice (you have to realize I've barely had the car a month either)! I had one give me a warning, but I don't think it had anything to do with the car, I think he was just lazy.

 

After 2+ years, I have gotten used to being complimented for my Xfire.
So one day, I came out from the bank walking towards where I parked my xfire. A guy just got off from his Tuscany, I heard him saying "Nice".
Taking it for granted, I said "You think so." He nodded. While patting the car, I proudly added, "its crossfiyuh oh 4".
He stuttered "What" and when the meaning registered he was grinning "Ahh yes that too" Then the meaning registered into my head.
Actually the best one was some weeks ago, at my apartment parking lot. One morning, I saw a strip of paper stuck under the windscreen wiper said, "Your car is gorgeous. Wanna pair up and do photo taking session. From neighbor on your left. " Since I was facing my xfire, my left was ... Subaru Imprezza, whereas my xfire left was Mitsubishi Evo. Ahhh...I dared not accept the invitation.

 

i would say the car to the left if your sitting in your car.
